Remembrance Day: Few remaining Second World War veterans want to be seen and heard

One of the last Calgary Highlanders Second World War veterans recalls surviving Normandy death trap.

George Morasch , 101 , says he didn't think he’d make it out of the Normandy battle.

Nearly 200 soldiers were killed or missing in the battle, nearly 200 were wounded or missing.

Albertan Bill Wilson became a hunter after his friend died in a U-boat attack on a Canadian destroyer.

His friend Cliff Rasmussen was killed in the attack on the Ottawa 2 , a day after marking his 100th birthday.

The two men's storied Calgary regiment would go on to fight in some of the war’s final battles in the Netherlands and Germany .

Calgarian Bill Wilson says he wasn’t out to avenge the loss of his friend or his friend.

The Ottawa 2 co-ordinated an attack on a suspected U-boat detected off the port of Portsmouth in the shallow English Channel.

With information gained from breaking German operational codes, the Ottawa 2’s hunter-killer team could zero in on the submarines.

Wilson recalls steaming through waters on the west flank of Utah Beach used by American troops during the landings.
